I had an older antenna that looked a lot like this one, however was about 1/2 the length. So when I ordered this one, I expected the same antenna. When I opened the packaged, I was amazed at the length, nearly 5 times as long as my radio is tall. So I scratched my head a bit, wondering who the hell would carry a hand held radio with this long of an antenna, I soon found out, as repeaters from all over began hitting my little handheld. I was very happy about this, and decided that the antenna could easially stay on the radio while it was sitting in the charger, where it usually lives, and be replaced by the rubber ducky that came for the radio when I went traveling. I live in a rural area with no repeaters within range of any handheld, but with this antenna I can hit a couple of them that are over 25 miles away. Nice addition to the little handheld.Read full review

As soon as I received this radio I programmed it for a number of two meter and 70 cm amateur radio repeaters in my area as well as a few amateur simplex frequencies. I also set transmit limits so the radio cannot transmit outside of the ham bands. This radio seems to work quite well. The camo color scheme seems a little hoaky but, considering the sale price, who would complain? I'm very happy with this purchase. It should be noted that a programming cable is not included with this radio. A programming cable is a necessary accessory which can be purchased separatey. Chirp programming software, which is available for free download, runs on Windows and works nicely to program the UV5R.

Shocking cheap price and seems to be well made even if it is a clone/copy. 1.45 swr on my example. Really perks up my UV-5R on both TX and RX compared to stock antenna. Kind of long s expect it to get in the way but still well worth it.
